Show moreThe intent of the IPRO 315 is to design a large-scale structure. The focus of this IPRO is structural analysis. The advisors of this group thought it would be even more interested if IPRO 335 and IPRO 315 would mesh together to create a large green structure. The intent of IPRO 335 is to design a “green” and innovative building using the skills and input of students studying different majors at Illinois Institute of Technology. Our team has decided to design a replacement apartment building for Gunsaulus Hall on the Illinois Institute of Technology campus. Innovative technologies and practices will be researched and employed to design a “green” building. The decision to design a building for the IIT campus came about because it is an area that all of the team members could relate to and have a more realistic grasp on the project. For the remainder of the semester the two groups are planning on coordinating with each other on each step of the design process.

Show moreThe aim of this IPRO was to assist our community partner the Save the Ramova Group, in developing new ideas for the renovation of the Ramova Theatre, which is located on the south side of the cross street of 35th and Halsted in Bridgeport. The theatre which has been around since the 1930’s has fallen into disrepair and has suffered a lot of damage over the years due to no maintenance and weathering through the seasons. The renovation of the theatre would not only mark the revival of a nostalgic memory but it would open up new avenues of development along the Halsted St. Corridor in addition to being a place that people in and around Bridgeport can go to for entertainment and leisure close to their homes. This semester the IPRO team started building a design initiative from scratch; by creating and handing out surveys to various groups of people, along with creating different studies in order to gain information on the needs and wants of the community along with the perspectives of the vast different groups of people in the neighbouring areas. After the data collection, it was analysed and as a result a preliminary program was drawn up by the group along with a cash flow report called a proforma that shows the feasibility of the project. In the following semesters the IPRO team should be able to develop the preliminary program into a sustainable design of the renovated theater as well as analyse the feasibility of the design and integrate the various building systems into the design in order to restore the Ramova to a fully working condition.

Show moreReal-time data communication has been viral since the era of the smartphone rose to prominence in this decade. All communications from human to human, from device to human, and from device to device are handled over the Internet connection either through a mobile Internet service provider or Wi-Fi, which enables information exchange including weather service, road traffic conditions, news alerts, package tracking notifications. By looking at different perspectives of the role of a smartphone, it reveals itself as an ideal device to mobilize critical user data to construct a real-time monitoring application such as in remote healthcare and home automation systems. Not only can the smartphone handle real-time data transmissions, but it can also handle real-time computations on the device itself by utilizing its embedded CPU. This dissertation is a comprehensive study of the investigation, exploration and experimentation on a real-time health monitoring system where quality of life can be improved when the conventional system may affect and hamper regular daily activities. The design flow of this system is based on the Internet connection where any device that is communicatively associated with the smartphone can be connected to the Internet. By utilizing the Android smartphone, not only does the system gain real-time data transmission capability, but it also obtains flexibility to communicate with different types of sensors and platforms through multiple wireless protocols. This system is highly adaptable to the currently trending Internet of Things (IoT) standards, where significantly increasing anticipation over its social impact, where it can assist populations in rural and distant areas for healthcare, day-to-day activity monitoring, and prevention against hazardous conditions for workers. The system architecture introduced in this research is focused on reconfigurability and compatibility of wireless sensors where they are independent from a certain platform in which sensors are not limited to medical devices but also detect movement, location, climate condition and any other sensor for analyzing the environment. Four major components are introduced in this research including wireless sensor nodes, a central sensor data processing and communication node, an Android application, and a central database server. They are discussed and explored to seek for solutions to improve and enhance features in the fundamental system design. Communication and computation processing capabilities are evaluated for all major components for practical usage of the system for different case studies. Also as a quantitative case study, a posture and fall detection system is presented which determines the patient's activities, medical conditions and the cause of an emergency event through the integration of all system architecture components. Adapting the IoT system is also explored in this dissertation by introducing a protocol standard to improve data transmission efficiency and to enable cross-platform compatibility of wireless devices. In addition to improving system efficiency, a study on data security issues and assessment on sensor data has been explored by implementing a proposed security scheme to each major component within the real-time mobile monitoring system. Also, a concept of Quality-of-Service (QoS) for mobile monitoring system using a wireless sensor network has been investigated to provide a solution to prioritize sensor data transmissions based on the results obtained from the sensor data assessment application. The proposed solutions can be either implemented on or under the application layer.

Show moreThe EUML-ARC programming model shows that the increasing parallelism available on multi-core processors requires evolutionary (not revolutionary) changes in software design. The EUML-ARC programming model combines and extends software technology available even before the introduction of multi-core processors to provide software engineers with the ability to specify software systems that expose abstract platform-independent parallelism. The EUML-ARC programming model is a synthesis of Executable UML, the Actor model, role-based modeling, split objects, and aspect-based coordination. Computation in the EUML-ARC programming model is structured in terms of semantic entities composed of actor-based agents whose behaviors are expressed in hierarchical state machines. An entity is composed of a base intrinsic agent and multiple extrinsic role agents, all with dedicated conceptual threads of control. Entities interact through their role agents in the context of featureoriented collaborations orchestrated by coordinator agents. The conceptual threads of control associated with the agents in a software system expose both intra-entity and inter-entity parallelism that is mapped by the EUML-ARC model compiler to the hardware threads available on the target multi-core processor. The hardware and software e ciency achieved with representative benchmark systems show that the EUML-ARC programming model and its compiler can exploit multi-core parallelism while providing a productive model-driven approach to software development.

Show moreParsons Brinckerhoff (PB) is an engineering, construction, technical, and management services firm that provides diverse solutions to private industrial customers worldwide, as well as to federal, regional, and local government agencies. Gathering requirements and feedback from the stakeholders for each project is imperative to meet the client’s needs. This process may be challenging due to the stakeholders’ diversity, location and time constraints. IPRO 320 was commissioned to design an application to interact with stakeholders for all PB projects. The stakeholders will be able to access information and take surveys, as well as post comments and other forms of multimedia to voice their opinions related to specific PB projects. During the summer 2011 semester, the IPRO developed concepts for an operational mobile application and web browser called PB OUR SPACE. To begin, this project required a vast amount of research and collaboration with Parsons Brinckerhoff. In order to make the most of a limited amount of time, the semester was divided into two parts. The first half of the semester was used to gather information about PB to build a better understanding of what would be required for the application. For the second half of the semester, we utilized that information to create a storyboard showing how the application will be used and developed. The functionality of the mobile application and browser is detailed in Appendix 3: Storyboard. The future IPRO team will be able to continue and expand this work by creating a working prototype of the storyboard concepts. All our work this semester has been compiled and filed to help make a smooth transition between semesters. This information contains the progress made thus far as well as recommendations for development of the application. By providing this information, the developed storyboard and proposed conclusions will make a solid framework for the development of the product, PB OUR SPACE (stakeholders’ perspectives about contextual elements).
